Ever feel like a job is the best you will get in life?
I want a career so I can get a house rather than being stuck in the rental market and not having a place that's truly mine
I want to be able to say one day I can retire off money I have saved
The reasons I work are basically so I can have money
I feel like such an outcast because everyone says work is something to so and they would feel lost just sat at home but for me I'd love a world where i had enough money that I'd saved up from work to be able to stay at home
I work simply as a necessity bit every one else seems to work because it gives them purpose to me work feels like a loop and without a career that's all it will be
My only real jobs are retail cleaning and I did 1 month teaching guitar to pretty much 1 person and that didn't get far
I'd love to do reselling but tbh I did alot of research on it and all the YouTube stuff that says you can do it as a full time job seem like bs it's either you will struggle alot for money at times or you need a big warehouse tonbe able to make profit and that seems way out of my comfort zone
I dont ever want a management or team leader role of any kind and I did look up work from home but again seems like most work from home are either hugely skilled jobs or basically scams
Do i just keep accepting I will have to do shift work or is there a way to feel like I can get a career that relieves the stress of work and stuff
I dunno it's hard to explain what I want but i need more time at home but at the same time i need good money and a way to have decent savings without missing out on life
I feel the same way. I would absolutely love to sit at home all day and do ‘nothing’ or just engage in my interests. I never understood when people say they enjoy working to keep them busy. i genuinely have no career interests at all. i’ve only ever done shift work or weekend jobs that turn into one shift a week, i start to get burnt out and end up quitting. i’ve just started a new work from home job that’s customer advisor but im not sure how long it’ll last as i find socialising the most difficult part - but i feel so stuck on what job to actually have, and feel like working from home is my best shot. you’re not alone at all in what you’re feeling
I work customer facing and I di enjoy it most of the time but it drains me
I would work less hours if I could but it's not doable sadly
Honestly if I won the millions of pounds I'd spend it like a wage I'd set so much aside a week so I'd have my normal life but without work worries
I get on with the people I work with though so it's not all bad bit yeah I agree working to keep you busy is odd I can keep busy by going the beach or reading a book or tbh my dream is getting a nice house and spending months planning how to decorate it and having my perfect space place
